Anthropogenic transformation of the coastal zone continues at a
steady pace, especially in the developing maritime countries, where
coastal resources are often crucial to national economies. However,
exploitation of these resources is often indiscriminate, ill
planned, or carried out without adequate scientific knowledge. This
leads to rapid resource depletion, and often irreversible
environmental degradation. The 1992 Rio de Janeiro UN Conference on
Environment and Development recognized the expediency of an
integrated and sustainable use of all coastal resources, functions
and services grounded on sound scientific data. The present volume
is based on the 1994 international workshop Integrated Coastal Zone
Management, and brings together contributions by leading
specialists both on basic concepts and on applications of coastal
management. The work is divided into six parts, dealing with the
conceptual framework of ICZM; regional and global aspects of
coastal management; environmental assessment in ICZM; capacity
building and technology transfer; monitoring and environmental
analysis; and case studies and status of ICZM plans. The book also
incorporates an interactive ICZM planning module, COSMO, which can
be of use in designing a management plan for a coast. Attention is
also given to long-term environmental effects of present-day
actions. It is hoped that COSMO will prove an additional learning
tool for ICZM practitioners and enhance the value of the book. This
work is intended to give a broad coverage of conceptual and
technical aspects of ICZM, and will be of use to operational
executives as well as students of ICZM, environmental economists,
policy-makers and senior managers in the international development
agencies and governmental and non-governmental organizations. It
can be recommended as a textbook and as a reference work.
In her letters Mme de StaAl provides a panoramic historical outlook
of the European literary, cultural and political scene between 1789
and 1817, i.e. the Revolution, the Napoleonic era and the
Restoration. This edition, as its French original, includes rare
contemporary illustrations never published before in this
connection. For this book there is no specific level of readership.
Madame Germaine de Stael is often regarded as the "mistress to
an age," or (like England and Russia) one of the three great
European "powers" of the nineteenth century. She was in some sense
both, but she was also an important and influential writer whose
works, astonishingly, have not, until this volume, been translated
into English since the early nineteenth century. She absorbed the
leading ideas of the Enlightenment on literature, politics,
science, and the social order; turned many of them to her own uses
and then bequeathed them to the nineteenth century, which adopted
much of the Enlightenment through her works.
She had two related aims: by her writings on politics, to guide
Europe as it entered the republican era and to help it maintain its
cultural legacy and liberty; and to explain all literature by its
relation to social institutions (which has had a profound effect on
all subsequent studies of comparative literature).
Here, in clear and flowing English prose that conveys both the
personality and the style of the original-and that corrects the
errors of earlier translations-are selections from Madame Germaine
de Stael's major works, including Considerations on the Principal
Events of the French Revolution, Literature Considered in Its
Relation to Social Institutions, Essay on Fiction, On Germany, and
her reflections on Russian and English as well as German national
character. They make plain both her amazingly modern approach to
such subjects as politics, literature, science, education, and
women, and the tremendous repercussions her work has had.
